There is nothing more pleasant and joyful than feeling of being warm, cozy and safe in a shelter ( car, tent or cabin ) in the cold blizzard snowy frizzing outdoors. It is magical.

When I came home from military service due to injuries, my wife, combat K9 and I ended up living in an RV through a bitter Wisconsin winter.. the entire winter. A few lessons for anyone doing this:

1) During a blizzard, major snow storm or high wind event, make sure you constantly check your vehicle exhaust and/or furnace/heater exhaust if you have any intent on using them. If they get plugged you very will could die of suffocation.

2) If you have fresh air vents and rely on them because your rig is very well sealed, make sure you also keep those clear for the same reason.

3) Keep a good box of hand/foot chemical warmer packs in your rig just in case you have no power or power fails. They will keep you alive in an emergency.

4) If possible, turn your rig so that entrance/exit/doors of your rig are pointed away the wind. If you do this, you may also need to plan on covering the radiator in your engine compartment area to keep it from freezing due to the windchills this will cause.. If you are lucky, the rear or opposite side of your rig will be pointing into the wind however.

5) Do not use open flame heaters, liquid fueled heaters etc inside your rig in a blizzard without making absolutely sure you have them vented with fresh air that is not blocked by snow..

Sadly, there are people that do this kind of camping... and died because of it. The biggest mistake of all those are forgetting to keep exhaust and intake vents unblocked.. People hunker up inside where they finally get warm and don't want to have to go back outside.. and it has cost people their lives. So while winter camping is a lot of fun, just make sure you consider everything when doing so.

This is so cool. I remember doing this in the forests of Alberta when I was 20. My family were loggers and we stayed for a month in the winter, in a camper, I'm 55 now and they now have movable trailers with big screen tvs. Not the same lol. Only drawback was smelling diesel fuel

This is amazing. When you sleep and eat in a cozy box in the middle of a dangerous snowy night somewhere no one can save you. It feels very relaxing.
